Explosions in Golog
(Xinhua) Two home-made bombs have exploded in the Tibetan area of Golog (Chin: Guoluo) in Qinghai, reported Xinhua. Two vehicles, one of them a police car, were damaged in the blasts, however no casualties were reported. The blasts reportedly followed a dispute between the authorities and local residents who were angry with the police who stopped a timber lorry for a security check. The head of the local Communist Party said: "The emergency lights and roofs of a police car and fire engine were destroyed by unsophisticated home-made explosives".
